I am trying to figure out how far is too far when it comes to renting a home for a week in December. Looking in the following places
1) Eagle-Vail
2) Avon
3) beaver Creek
Questions
1) is there transportation from these areas to Vail village?
2) will there's be issues traveling between locations because of weather
3) is this the best place for families of multiple ages.... Looking for shopping for the wives and mom's.
4) is there skiing or things to do for the real young ones 2-5
Also is another place a better option? Breckenridge etc
1) Eagle-Vail
2) Avon

Eagle Vail is more of a neighborhood where people buy to maximize sqft vs proximity. Avon exit is 8 minutes from Vail Village exit. Beaver Creek main area is very nice but not very big. You shouldn’t have much trouble traveling between the two. Vail and BC are on the west side of Vail pass which is the trouble spot.
Shopping and things to do… Vail is tough to beat, just bring an extra credit card. I like Breck to ski on weekdays but the town is highly overrated.

I would find a place that is on the Vail Village bus line and stay in the Vail area. Hauling ski equipment is a pain and the farther you are from the ski area the more of a pain it can be, especially if you are carrying kids skis too. The ski school is great for young kids but I think 2 years old is far too young. There is a large ice skating rink there. Vail is also loaded up with shopping.

If you’re staying in the Vail area, and not in the Village or Beaver Creek, get on the bus route. Not perfect but doable.
Vail is great...lots of shopping and excellent skiing. It’s a large town for a ski resort.
If comparing Breck, well, they are very different in some respects. Breck, the town, is much smaller. Breck’s layout,being an old mining town, is much different from Vail. Breck boasts plenty of options for family activities, shopping and food, but on a smaller scale.
You can’t choose wrong between the two .

If you are just skiing Vail, stay there in the area. If you are skiing multiple places, don't discount Frisco. It's on the junction between highways to Breck and Vail. You will have to drive.

So we are large family trying to stay in a home. Where would you recommend staying? Homes are few and far between in Vail. Eagle Vail has some, also Avon does too

I would:
1) Stay in Avon
2) Ski Beaver Creek
3) Rent a car
4) Park daily in the East/West lots in Avon and take the free shuttles into Beaver Creek.
5) Drive into Vail a couple of times for a dinner/shopping/walking around
The shuttles in Avon run every few minutes and take 5-7 minutes to get to the village drop off.

Being east of Vail Pass is asking for trouble though.

Maybe consider Steamboat. They have a good inventory of single family homes to rent. Crested Butte does too but CB isn’t going to give you as many dining and shopping options.

So if we rent the ski equipment...... I am assuming it will eliminate the hauling equipment and make the bus route better?
Also would it makes sense to rent a car?
To commute instead of bus route

If you rent the ski equipment you rent it for the time you are there not new stuff each day. You will need to get it to the resort and home each day. Some places offer kind of locker concepts you can keep them in and keep your boots dry. This is useful if you are asking the same place each day.

I would rent a car and also use the bus when skiing. Buses are far better equipped for skis.

This. Was there this past weekend. Frisco/Dillon/Silverthorne is a great area to stay. There's a hostel called the Pad that is awesome if you don't have kids.
